また 鏡を見つめてる
ああ どうしてこんな顔よ
明日の朝 目が覚めた時には
美しくなってたらいいな
なぜだかケンカした
ああ 大好きなあの人と
また こっちが先にあやまるの
仕方のない事ね
どうして みんな
無邪気にはしゃがないのよ
どんな 夢を
描いているのでしょうか
ステキな女性になりたくて
涙を我慢しても
毎日元気に生きてゆく
それが魅力よ
それが女よ
ただ 一人になりたくて
ああ 遠回りしてみたの
でも 今度は歩こうあの人と
センチな恋してる
どうして 春は
ドキドキしてくるのでしょう
街の 中も
お花の匂いがしてる
ステキな人生見つめてる
大人に近づくから
毎日元気で美しく
それが魅力よ
それが女よ
ステキな人生見つめてる
大人に近づくから
毎日元気で美しく
それが魅力よ
それが女よ
I'm staring into the mirror yet again
Ahh, why am I stuck with this face?
I wish that when I opened my eyes tomorrow morning
I'd wake up and be beautiful
I got into a fight for some reason
Ahh, with the guy I like
Am I going to be the first one to apologize again?
Guess there's no helping it
Why isn't everyone
Just playing around innocently anymore?
What kind of dreams
Are they all drawing up?
I want to become a wonderful woman, so
Even if I have to hold back tears
I'll keep living cheerfully through each day
That's what charm is
That's what a woman is
I tried taking the roundabout path
So that I could be all alone
But next time, I'll go walking together with him
I'm in a sentimental love
Why does springtime
Set my heart racing?
Even inside town,
There's a gentle, flowery scent
I'm looking at a wonderful life
I'm approaching adulthood, so
Every day, my cheerfulness makes me beautiful
That's what charm is
That's what a woman is
I'm looking at a wonderful life
I'm approaching adulthood, so
Every day, my cheerfulness makes me beautiful
That's what charm is
That's what a woman is

Liner Notes[]
テーマを「普通の女の子のあり方」としました。
何度かテーマに歌詞を書いたことがあります。
「急にいい顔にならないかな?」と。
僕個人も小学生の頃、「ああ、あいつみたいな顔にならんかな」って何度も思ったものです。
なんで、どんな女の子も、そう、俗世間で「かわいい」って言われているような子であっても、
みんな心こころのどこかにコンプレックスってあるんじゃないかって思います。
もちろんそれ以外にも女の子にとって大切な異性、家族、仲間。
人生のあらゆる場面で感じる出来事すべてが青春の1ページであるということ。
しっかり毎日を噛み締めて生きていってほしいなと願いをこめて作りました。
サウンド的にはミディアムに聞こえますが、
リズムのはねている感じ(特にドラムフィルのはねている感じ)にこだわりました。
そのことによってアップテンポに聞こえると思います。
ミュージックビデオコンセプトは「しっかり美しく生きていく」です。
真剣な乙女のまなざしを感じてください。
菅谷:しっかり声が出てきています。高音の声に伸びが出てきました。
夏焼:安定感のある歌唱力です。
熊井:声帯がしっかりしているので、かわいいのに頼もしい声です。
須藤:ダンス、笑顔、歌とも、キレが出てきています。楽しんでいる姿が元気を与えてくれます。
嗣永:声が大分大人びてきました。このまましっかり歌える声に成長していくでしょう。
徳永:性格そのまま声がいつも明るいです。Berryz工房の陽を支えています。
清水:ダンスのキレはぴか一。歌唱力も安定してますね。さすがキャプテンです。
The theme is "an ordinary girl's way of being."
I've written lyrics to this theme several times. "Can't I just poof! have a nice face?"
I myself, as an elementary school student, thought "Ah, can't I have a face like that guy?" countless times. Yes, every girl, no matter what kind of girl she is, even if she's the type of girl that gets told she's "cute" in everyday life, I think everyone's got a complex somewhere inside their hearts.
Of course, aside from that, for girls there's the opposite sex, their family and their friends, that they all cherish. All the events that they experience, in all of life's scenarios, are but one page of youth.
"I want them to live their lives firmly reflecting on and digesting each and every day." That's the wish I put into this song.
The "sound" sounds a bit medium, but I was very picky about the feel of the rhythm's bounce (especially the bounce of the drum fills). Because of that, I think the uptempo-ness can be heard.
The music video's concept is "living firmly and beautifully." Please feel the gaze of these earnest maidens.
Sugaya: Her voice is steadily coming out. Her upper-register range has grown.
Natsuyaki: She has a singing ability that carries a sense of stability.
Kumai: Her vocal chords are steady, so even though her voice is cute it's also reliable.
Sudou: Her dancing, smile, and singing have all gained sharpness. Her figure as she enjoys herself gives you energy.
Tsugunaga: Her voice has matured a lot. The way things are going, her voice will grow into one that can sing very stably.
Tokunaga: Her personality and her voice just as it is are always bright. She's the one keeping Berryz Koubou's "positivity" up.
Shimizu: The sharpness of her dance sparkles. Her singing is also stable. As expected of their Captain.
4.『VERY BEAUTY 』 2007.03.07発売 13thシングル
この曲では菅谷の歌唱力UPを確信しました。
声もだいぶ大人の声になってきて落ち着き始めてきた時です。
Aメロの歌いだしは結構KEY設定も高めなので、
レコーディングではここぞ!の一発を使うことが出来るけど、
ライブで毎回どんなことになるだろう、なんて不安に思ってたけど、
何を何を、毎回きちんと安定した発声で歌えていました。
それまで優秀だったメンバーと並んだ印象がこの曲にはありますね。
4th. "VERY BEAUTY" 13th Single, Released 2007.03.07
This is the song that convinced me that Sugaya's singing ability had improved.
This was when even her voice had started maturing tremendously and started stabilizing.
The key was set quite high when singing the A-melody, so even though you can say "This one!" when choosing which of various take to use when recording, I was worried over how it'd turn out each time she had to perform it live. However, she was able to sing it out accurately and in a stable fashion each and every time. Compared to the other members who had been excellent up until then, she made an impression with me with this song.
